VMware Resource Pools: Organizing VMs

March 25, 2013 John Davis Cisco, Cloudera, Featured, Professional Development, Project Management, Routing & Switching, Technology, Training in Business

A common issue is where administrators intend to use resource pools strictly for organization and administration. They did not intend to affect the resource usage of the VMs, so each pool is set with default Shares, Reservation, and Limit for both CPU and RAM. The administrator utilizes the pool for administration purposes, such as to configure permissions and alarms, but the pools are not used to configure resource settings. This results in each pool having the same Shares for CPU and Memory, but if one pool contains twice the number of VMs than another pool, then each VM in the first pool is effectively guaranteed only 50% of the amount of CPU and RAM that is guaranteed to VMs in the second pool.

The purpose of the survey was to assess both the tangible and intangible value of these certifications, and it focused on various ITIL Intermediate certifications and ITIL Expert. The value of ITIL Foundation was not assessed because that is a basic, common, entry-level certification.
